You see, if I wanted to join, I could just ask my brother to play on my account, and he would probably win because he is really good Absolutely brilliant insight. I have never before witnessed such knowledge on the internet. Can I have your autograph?... Already been answered and discussed in the thread, not to mention a billion other threads before this one, but thanks for stating the obvious again. The only people that smurf in tournaments, especially low/no prize pool tournaments, are assholes that just like to ruin the fun of others. Are you an asshole? "It's not like you can even enforce the rule, since people will just lose placement matches on purpose and then smurf and smash the wow players." "It's called honesty and integrity, some people still have it. I hope they show it by not signing up if all they plan to do is smurf. There is no money prize pool in this tournament and unless you consider smurfing to be fun (I consider it mean and dishonest in this case) you are just wasting your time." Anyways though, I actually plan to open up the next tournament to any skill level. So this is really an old discussion already. OFF-TOPIC EDIT: I am slowly adding the tournament replays to the OP. Should have the majority of them up by the end of the night. EDIT2: Alright that is all of them (that I have). I know I was late getting them out there, but better late than never! Also if you have a copy of a replay that I do not have listed, please let me know via PM! I'll add it. For those that are too lazy to go back to the first page of this thread, here is the list of replays below. Click "Show Spoiler". Enjoy! It took me forever to format that list, the way you see it now, lol. ![[image loading]](http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c39/stewker/replays_bar.jpg) + Show Spoiler + Round of 32: ![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Picon_small.png) Storm vs Bowdy![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Zicon_small.png) Joroth vs Rahdek![[image loading]](http://www.teamliquid.net/tlpd/images/Ticon_small.png) prodiG vs ShadowBSOS vs DupALucretian vs hisBALLINHellAngel vs rocRastaban vs Ir0nClad*Warriormad vs MithraDragon vs PlyteRai vs Jon*Round of 16: Storm vs RahdekLucretian vs YiffWarriormad vs DragonRai vs HiMillKyle vs OrlanduCenterplay vs Shantex*Round of 8: Rai vs WarriormadGame 1 (Destination) Game 2 (Lost Temple) Game 3 (Steppes of War) HellsAngel vs LucretianGame 1 (Destination) Game 2 (Sin Chupung Ryeong) Game 3 (Lost Temple) Storm vs CenterplayGame 1 (Destination) Game 2 (Lost Temple) BSOS vs KyleGame 1 (Destination) Game 2 (Steppes of War) Game 3 (Blistering Sands) Round of 4: Rai vs HellsAngelGame 2 (Steppes of War) Game 3 (Metalopolis) Kyle vs StormGame 1 (Sin Chupung Ryeong) Game 2 (Lost Temple) Finals: [Kyle vs RaiGame 1 (Fighting Spirit) Game 2 (Steppes of War) Game 3 (Blistering Sands) Game 4 (Incineration Zone) Game 5 (Scrap Station) Note: "*" denotes alternates. | ||

Finally, new thread will be going up either late tomorrow (US Monday) or on Tuesday. Bigger, better, louder, etc. More players, new maps, no skill limit, and even some money on the line this time. As the trailer says, stay tuned... | ||

its cool to have some of the new maps, the sc1 maps in a tourney, but they aren't balanced for sc2 nor are they a core set of maps that you have played on. Also, more then just keeping them in the map pool, but making them exclusive will harm the tourney. You should allow players to chose any map from the current blizzard standard of maps that are held on the ladder from phase 1 of the beta. Also, i think, because of the high profile nature of the tourney, commentary should be reconsidered. "The Cybernetic Punks" did a mediocre job at commentating @ the last 3 micro/macro tournaments. (sound levels were off, they were uninformative, and unprofessional. People randomly starting joining the channel and talking! and having 5 commentators doesn't help in the slightest). I have nothing against their style of commentary (it was decent in some parts, but over all it was lack luster). Camera work could have been a lot better as well. I ask that you try and get a decent stream/commentary for the tournament, in order to legitimize it. | ||

This is relevant information. Now, i noticed specific things haven't been mentioned in thread no. 2, but pulling the meaning from this points towards two facts. Going to be more BSOS n friends Streaming. Only User Made Maps in map pool. both of which i gave feedback about. Also, i would like to note, that Both Yiff and Kyle were invited back to play. For some reason, you seemed to skip over me... To say the least, i have put forth some effort to play and teach a lot of people, in all of these tournaments. I also won the first one (although did not play in the second). I did better in Yiff in the third, and i am still left out. (Even though my name(ID) was put in the "trailer" without my consent.) Regardless, i still want to play. However, "[i would appreciate] a little professional courtesy" (John McClane) in regards to the tournament. Also, to note, its really hard to convey tone while writing on the internet. I don't mean to sound rude or anything, i wanted to just state a few things. Now i think its cool that you have a bunch of top end people. but i think your missing the entire point of the previous tournaments. It was so the low level players could compete in an environment where they would feel like they had a chance to rise above all others. It was a low ranking, lower skill tournament. Putting this aside, I am going to enjoy some of the games that come out of it. However, in the future, i would like to see the skill bar lowered again. (Perhaps do some sort of silver star coaching thing, much like gosu coaching did. | ||

(Perhaps do some sort of silver star coaching thing, much like gosu coaching did. As the tournament host, I believe it is stewkers prerogative to decide what the 'entire point' of the tournament is. It doesn't say anywhere that he has to mimic previous tournaments for an eternity. Change can be a good thing. WIth that said, however, I would also like to echo your concerns about the commentating. I mean no disrespect to the guys that commentated the previous tournament, but I'm not sure their style will match up well with the caliber of players that look to be present in the next tournament. I feel that games played by very experienced and professional players are best presented by experienced and professional commentators. But again, it's all up to the tournament manager's discretion. | ||

It awesome that you got really top tier people to play in the new tourney, but leave us noobs something to feed on lol. Maybe another set of tourneys ran by someone other than yourself, appointed by yourself of course. Just at the moment I think I'd get stomped on and not really learn anything other than.. Well how to get stomped on, and along with combining some of the other players that go along in this category with high tier players I think neither would have any sort of fun when one is vastly superior to the other. None offense intended. | ||

Since M/M #2 is a higher profile tourney, commentating will be taken much more seriously by the CP staff. We acknowledge all the mishaps too, and will have them corrected i guarantee it  Hope to see you in the next tourney hells | ||
